How Old Is My Pet In Human Years?

Nashville pet owners, do you wonder “How old is my pet in human years?”

As your pet ages, their healthcare needs to become greater. Since pets age at a faster rate than humans, Nippers Corner Pet Medical Center recommends an exam every six months after your pet reaches age 7 to help them be happy, healthy and pain-free.

Good senior pet health care should be a discussion between you and your veterinarian about:

Diet and weight management

Cancer screening

Heart disease screening

Dental care

Diabetes screening

Function of thyroid, kidneys, and liver

Eye and vision health

Pain management
